Justin Bieber’s representative is pushing back against speculation about the singer’s health, calling recent rumors “exhausting and pitiful.”
Following the release of recent photos showing Bieber looking tired and noticeably thinner, online speculation about his well-being began circulating. However, a rep for Bieber and his wife, Hailey Bieber, told TMZ that the pop star is simply focused on fatherhood and new music, dismissing the concerns as baseless.
“Despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive,” the representative said.
Bieber, who welcomed his first child, son Jack Blues, with Hailey in August 2024, has largely stayed out of the spotlight in recent months. The singer was seen participating in a charity hockey tournament in Los Angeles on Sunday, further reinforcing his rep’s statement that he is doing well.
According to his rep, the past year has been transformative for Bieber, marked by significant personal and professional changes. The singer has reportedly cut ties with several close friends and business associates who no longer aligned with his goals.
Bieber has previously been open about his health challenges. In 2020, he revealed he had been diagnosed with Lyme disease, and in 2023, he experienced temporary facial paralysis due to Ramsay Hunt syndrome, forcing him to cancel tour dates.
Additionally, he has been candid about his struggles with substance abuse in the past. In a 2019 interview with Vogue, Bieber admitted to using Xanax as a way to cope with guilt and personal struggles.
While the speculation about his health continues to swirl, Bieber’s camp insists that he is focused on his family and career, with new music on the way.
